Never-before-released Grateful Dead concert in theaters today

Film/music

Dig out the tie-dye and headbands. The Grateful Dead is playing South Florida on Thursday -- in theaters, anyway.

Deadheads can flash on the psychedelic summer of '89 by catching "Grateful Dead Second Annual Meet-Up at the Movies," showing at 7 p.m. in select cinemas.

The film features a never-before-released concert recorded at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin on July 18, a day after the band's iconic "Downhill From Here" performance at the East Troy amphitheater.

The event opens with a slide show of photographs of the band on the tour and includes top submissions from the recent Dead Covers Project, in which fans uploaded videos of covers of Dead tracks to the band's website at Dead.net. It also includes an unreleased live track recorded in 1974.

Moviegoers who leave the theater needing even more Dead may want to consider heading north to Live Oak, where the Mickey Hart Band and Further, featuring Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, will perform at this weekend's Wanee Music Festival (Waneefestival.com).
